METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE CHARGING OF A LEAD STARTING BATTERY, THE REGULATING VALUE OF WHICH CORRESPONDS TO A PARTIAL CHARGE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of controlling the charging of a lead starting battery of a motor vehicle comprising a combustion engine, the charge regulating value of which corresponds to a partial charge. According to the invention, when the combustion engine is running, a heavy charging voltage is applied to the battery so as to charge it to a heavy charge value greater than the charge regulating value, the value of the heavy charging voltage depending on at least one of the two parameters among the temperature and the state of charge of the battery on initiation of the heavy charging process.
